I am looking to start new leaf growth in my dierama. Could I cut this all the way to the ground after flowering and not hurt the plant? Most people say that it needs only removal of old leaves, but mine looks a bit ragged even during it's growing season. Anyone ever try cutting it to the ground?

Maybe rebeccag in Gold Beach will chime in, she grows quite a bit of dierama...I'll go poke her...
I could be wrong...

She says that dierama can be cut back to the ground...sometimes she just cuts back the brown and that the dead brown leaves can often be pulled out also....
